This paper determines the level of interaction and intermediation where lean reaches its significance level for high performance manufacturing, using structural equations and ordinary least squares regressions. Results emphasize the need to consider the human and contextual factor when lean is implemented.EnglishLACCEI Licensehttps://laccei.org/blog/copyright-laccei-papers/Lean productionCompetitive performanceMediationModerationInteractionArticle
